Barriers to Regular Exercise From Pre-Injury Across 2-Year Recovery Among TBI Survivors: A NIDILRR Investigation

Engaging in routine physical activity and exercise is important to overall health. Given the impact of a traumatic brain injury (TBI) on cognitive and physical functioning, regular exercise may be negatively impacted. Needed is an understanding of the factors that disrupt exercise and physical activity participation across recovery. Thus, the objective of the current study was to identify the unique barriers that interfere with regular exercise among survivors of TBI at pre-injury, 6, 12, and 24 months post-injury.
